In mid 2003, two individuals by the name of LILDAWGG and serialtoon, plotted an act that would take place that year, and possibly the following if all went well. After compiling dozens of facts from previous conversations that the two men had, the known phrase came about and it came hard.

Hours later, the letters S.T.E.C.S were made into a logo and printed out into stickers for their own personal use. The stickers struck an idea in the minds of these geniuses. Months later each state and city in the United States were struck with a hard form of vandalism on various street corners, apartment building doors, and anywhere else they came along as they traveled to get the name out to the public.

To this day, STECS has been one of the most organized, well thought out, and most dangerous sticker dominations we have ever seen in the history of vandals. Not one person has came forth with any information or photos of the two creators, of which will always be, a classic running joke to the ones who have spotted it along the way.
